Five Little Easter Eggs
Five little Easter eggs, lovely colors wore;      (suit actions to words)
Mother ate the blue one, then there were four.
Four little Easter eggs, two and two, you see;
Daddy ate the red one, then there were three.
Three little Easter eggs;  before I knew,
Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two.
Two little Easter eggs;  oh, what fun!
Brother ate the purple one, then there was one.
One little Easter egg;  see me run!
I ate the very last one, and then there were none.

Eggs of orange and blue.
Here' are lots of colored eggs
All for me and you.
Chocolate eggs

Jelly beans bright green
Aren't these the most beautiful eggs
That you have ever seen?

Tissue Paper Sparkle Eggs

Take plastic eggs  and cover it with overlapping tissue paper squares (about 1").  Do it by making a mixture of glue and water, and using a paintbrush to paint on the glue.  (Use the junky paintbrushes that come with cheap watercolor paints).  Brush on gently so that the tissue paper doesn't rip.  Keep layering until the plastic is completely covered. The egg will be a little wet.  Sprinkle on that really fine opalescent glitter.  Let dry.  They will harden as they dry, and they are absolutely gorgeous.   Use different colored squares overlapping.
